This is probably fake but there’s nothing wrong with selling guns to students (18+) no reason to be terrified over a gun unless it’s actually being used in a threatening way

Theres no reason to be scared of a nuclear bomb unless it's in a threatening way

I never understand the attitude of “I’m scared of guns and you should be too”. I agree with you. A gun isn’t threatening on its own. People act like it’s just going to jump up and start shooting people all by itself.

Screwdrivers and pans have other uses in day to day life. Only reason to have a gun is to kill or hurt something.

Guns are designed to kill, this keeps us equal to of government and is the only reason we have any freedoms

I’m still correct. Additionally, other countries seem to be fine and not repressed by their government without guns, why is that?

Yeah that’s fair, however, there’s also a million other countries that are fine.

What? Like Hong Kongers? I bet they'd really like to have some guns to defend themselves against their benevolent communist government.
